You have been subscribed to a public bug: Apport crash while trying to generate a report from a gdb crash core dump.
crash occure in function add_gdb_info() of file report.py on the line (around 687): if '"ERROR:' in self['GLibAssertionMessage']: The crash happens because GLibAssertionMessage as not been affected as a key in self[]. It's because apport assume that the cmd invoking gdb : "out = _command_output(gdb_cmd).decode('UTF-8', errors='replace')" will work and return correct value. In my case the gdb invokation seems to give an incomplete result starting with : "[New LWP 18326]\nwarning: Can\'t read pathname for load map: Erreur d\'entr\xe9e/sortie." ending with "No symbol table info available." therefore parts list is composed of 1 element : (pdb): len(parts) 1 (Pdb) parts[1] *** IndexError: list index out of range I guess a possible correction would be to add a check on the result of the gdb invocation or on the number of items in parts list line 681. I could provide a patch but i'm not sure what is the cleanest way to correct this. Affected version is apport 2.9.2. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: gdb report -- Apport crash while generating report from a gdb crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171484 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
